A federal judge has ordered the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to make the Grove Street PATH station entrance on Marin Boulevard and Christopher Columbus Drive handicapped-accessible.

Judge Stanley R. Chesler found that the Port Authority has “technically feasible” proposals to make the entrance compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act and ordered it to do so.

The lawsuit that led to the judge’s ruling, which was brought by two nonprofit groups representing the disabled, focused on the station’s eastern entrance, which was completed in 2005.

Federal law mandates that new construction, additions and alterations need to be ADA compliant, Chesler notes in his opinion, released Tuesday.

Of 13 PATH stations in New York and New Jersey, the Grove Street and Harrison stations are the only two without elevators, ramps or lifts for riders in wheelchairs.

“The court notes that the original impetus for this construction, increased ridership on the PATH system, is all the more reason to accommodate disabled and able-bodied persons alike,” the judge stated in his opinion.

The opinion notes that two of the Port Authority’s proposals to add handicapped accessibility involve adding an elevator, and may require the agency to purchase additional property.

In a statement, Robert B. Stulberg, representing the plaintiffs, expressed gratitude that the court “hastened the day when the disabled will finally be able to use” the PATH station on Grove Street.
